In the evening of the same day, Inter Milan came to the Old Trafford Stadium to familiarize themselves with the field training. Bergomi, the famous Inter Milan and the first team in his life, visited their training and said in an interview that although Real Madrid is very strong, but Now is the era of Inter Milan!

After training, head coach Cooper participated in a routine press conference. As for the leader of Bergomi, he did not respond positively, but emphasized that the opponent's strength is very high, and Inter Milan will definitely go all out.

"For a superstar-studded team like Real Madrid, we can't let them play smoothly. We will focus on the arrangement in the midfield." As for how to arrange it, Cooper did not say clearly, and the reporters present also understand that it is certain to say it now. not suitable.

As for the shortcomings of the team, Cooper believes that it is the experience of the Champions League final. After all, Inter Milan has not been able to reach the final for many years, and there are very few players with experience in the team.

"The pressure of the competition will affect the performance of the players. This is inevitable, but I believe our players can adjust well, especially Wang Feng. He is born with a big heart. I have full confidence in him."

Real Madrid also conducted field adaptation training later. Coach Bosque said: "Real Madrid is a frequent visitor to the Champions League and the club that has won the most championships. We have won five consecutive championships."

"Since the restructuring of the Champions League, no club has been able to win consecutive championships, and we will win this honor to reflect the glorious history!"

For Wang Feng of Inter Milan, Bosque expressed the highest level of attention, and will arrange the strictest defense to limit him, "Wang Feng will be defeated in front of the world's top defense."

"Everyone, good evening, everyone. Welcome to the 2002-2003 UEFA Champions League final. This is Old Trafford in England."

"The two teams tonight are Real Madrid from La Liga and Inter Milan from Serie A."

"Real Madrid participated in the Champions League final for the twelfth time and won nine championships. Inter Milan participated in the Champions League final for the fourth time and won two championships. It is worth mentioning that Inter Milan participated in the Champions League final for the last time. Dating back to the distant 1972."

"From the data point of view, Real Madrid beat Inter Milan. They were also the Champions League champions last year, so they have an absolute advantage in competition experience."

"But Inter Milan, who has returned to the Champions League final after 31 years, is not a good one. Wang Feng, the team's top attacker, has contributed 18 goals in the Champions League, far ahead of other players. The number one player in the finals."

"Whether the star-studded and experienced Real Madrid won the championship, or the champion Wang Feng helped Inter Milan win the trophy? Let us wait and see."

Real Madrid guessed the right to serve first. Captain Hierro waved to his teammates as he walked back, calling for everyone to gather together, and said: "I got the right to serve in the first half. I was lucky. After the game started, we stabilized the rhythm. , attack and defend according to the coach's arrangement, the opponent is just a new team in the Champions League final, and if we spend with them, we must have the last laugh, understand?"

Everyone in the Galaxy Battleship nodded in unison.

The two teams set up their formations. Raul and Zidane stood in the middle circle and prepared to serve.

Wang Feng is very worried about Inter Milan's defense. The absence of Materazzi, Koko and others due to injuries, coupled with the incoordination between Cannavaro and Cordoba, have seriously affected the stability of the defense.

"It seems that after the opening game, we need to create more threats in the frontcourt, forming pressure on Real Madrid's defense and preventing them from attacking with all their strength!" Wang Feng thought silently. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

When he looked towards Real Madrid's half, Ronaldo smiled and nodded to him, his eyes full of fighting spirit, he attached great importance to the duel with Inter Milan.

Raul quickly kicked the ball to Zidane, and then retreated to his own half. Zidane also passed the ball back to the backcourt to organize. Real Madrid did not attack at the beginning.

On Inter Milan's side, Vieri and Wang Feng quickly inserted into the frontcourt to suppress Real Madrid's pass, while Di Biagio and Dalma in the midfield did not go too deep and just passed the halfway line on standby.

Both sides seemed very cautious. Carlos passed the ball to the midfielder Guti. Dalma quickly stepped forward to block it. Guti chose to pass it back to the defender Salgado. The latter looked ahead and kicked suddenly. A pick pass was sent directly to Raul in the frontcourt.

After the Spaniard stopped the ball in the chest, he turned around and dribbled the ball along the sidewalk. Although Pasquale followed closely, with his excellent technique, he still found an open cross.

Ronaldo, who responded in the penalty area, got the ball and used a fake move to shake off Cannavaro and hit the goal directly. The goalkeeper Toldo was very focused and blocked the ball with one hand. Zambrotta who followed him immediately cleared the siege with his big foot .

Real Madrid completed the first shot of the game! The threatening attack almost rewritten the score, and the Inter Milan players on the field and the head coach Cooper on the sidelines were covered in cold sweat.

Toldo loudly reminded the defenders to concentrate and be careful of Ronaldo and Raul's foot skills, which are too lethal to the defense.
